# 1. Connect to INSPIRE testing node

# 2. Do a search which returns a list of ids with the phrase "ellis"
res = inspire.search(p="ellis", of="intbitset")

# We asked for an intbitset, which is a comes over the wire as 
# binary format - which means we convert it back to a proper intbitset
# structure on our end and cast to to a familiar list.

# Get data from the first record as a json object
